Though he isn’t technically a member of the Washington Redskins 2020 NFL Draft haul, the team took TE Thaddeus Moss and ran as quickly as they could once the draft came to a close and signings from undrafted free agents began.
The signing made headlines across the nation, of course, as Moss’s father, Randy, is a Hall of Fame receiver who is beloved in NFL circles. With Thaddeus now in the league, the family name has a good chance to continue its legacy in American sports.
But how good with Moss be for the Redskins? That’s a question that a lot of people are asking, considering that he was passed up by all 32 teams in the draft. Redskins running back Adrian Peterson let his thoughts be known on the young player, noting that if he has any ‘Moss blood’ in him, the sky is the limit.
Peterson is in an interesting position when it comes to Moss, as he has a chance to have played with both Randy and Thaddeus in his career, should the former make the squad. Seeing as the Redskins are extremely thin at the TE position, and remarks have already been made about Moss’ ability to contribute in the blocking game, all indications are that he has a pretty good chance of making the team this fall. Then we will see how far he can carry the family name.
